We are on track to repeat 2002 the year after our finals season of 2001.
Win 15 games in 01 make it 16 with a final. 7-15 in 2002. Two years later a sppon.
7-15 this year with a couple of nothing wins in July/ August.
Split Enz had a song about History repeating. It was written about us.
was always going to be the problem making finals with a very average list. covered over a lot of cracks and sent us down the wrong stuff in the road. its not too late to turn around and take the right stuff but it will mean plenty of short term pain. they just dont have the balls or vision to do that.
it is scary at just how similar the situation is to the frawley yrs and the wallace yrs.
make no mistake we have some vgood footballers and it should not be too hard to build a side around them but it wont be in a yr or two time.
we stopped our rebuild well short of where we needed to stop because finals came along. finals just papered over the many cracks. it was always the concern going into this yr.
